Determination of the optimal dilution of tested pig sera for cELISA
| Serum no. | Serum type | 1:80 | 1:40 | 1:20 | 1:10 | 1:5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Positive | 0.773 | 0.501 | 0.476 | 0.445 | 0.413 |
| Negative | 1.022 | 0.992 | 1.073 | 1.046 | 0.977 | |
| P/N | 0.756 | 0.505 | 0.444 | 0.425 a | 0.423 | |
| 2 | Positive | 0.505 | 0.374 | 0.217 | 0.181 | 0.167 |
| Negative | 1.057 | 1.07 | 1.058 | 1.006 | 0.945 | |
| P/N | 0.478 | 0.35 | 0.205 | 0.180 | 0.177 | |
| 3 | Positive | 0.334 | 0.276 | 0.217 | 0.156 | 0.142 |
| Negative | 1.100 | 1.032 | 0.973 | 1.065 | 1.013 | |

Three positive and negative swine sera were separately used for cELISA detection. The dilutions of sera were 1:5, 1:10, 1:20, 1:40, and 1:80. The best dilution was selected when the OD450 value of positive-to-negative (P/N) sera was smallest.
